Suggest Treatment For Bumps On Tongue
I have 4 reddish little bumps on the left side of my tongue. That side of my tongue appears to be somewhat swollen. It is painful when eating/drinking. I dont think it is a canker sore because it doesn't have the remarkable color or shape as one. It does however have a faintly white patch under the bumps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello since when are you having this ulcers.
If it for less than 10 days then you could just wait it out along with warm saline gargle and some topical intra oral pain relief gel. It could be just a normal mouth ulcer. When it appears on side of tongue it is like small bumps. Avoid hot and apicy food. You could take vitamin B tablets once a day. Is helpful
If it is more than 2-3 weeks then it needs to be shown to a specialist for further tests.
Thank you.
